Sweet & Sour Chicken Fried Rice

Two delicious Chinese recipes come together in this easy One Pot Sweet and Sour Chicken Fried Rice Recipe that’s made in only 20 minutes!

Man, oh man, the last month has been absolutely insane! I started the moving process at the beginning of August and after 3 weeks I was totally moved-in. I’m now officially living in my new little beach house with the worlds best boyfriend! (I might be slightly biased! 😉 )

Of course, two days later was the boyfriends birthday, so that entire weekend was spent at Dave Matthews Band Concerts, steak dinners, country bars and beach picnics!

Two days after that, I was cooking and Snapchatting live from the Cox Smart Home event. It was a super cool event showing how to use their Gigablast High Speed Internet throughout your home using smart appliances.

Once I wrapped that event up, two days later I was hanging out on San Diego 6 News sharing my favorite recipes for game day!

Then it was Labor Day weekend and college football of course!

So now, finally this week, I’m back in the kitchen cooking up new recipes in my new kitchen! This new kitchen also happens to be the worlds smallest kitchen! (Y’all pray for me for the next 6 months while I cook in this teeny tiny kitchen while we look for a house to buy!)

With a new smaller kitchen, I’m trying to keep the dishes to a minimum. This means more One Pot Dishes than ever coming your way, starting with this scrumptious One Pot Sweet & Sour Chicken Fried Rice!

These two Chinese food favorites come together perfectly in just 20 minutes for a new fun fusion recipe that the whole family will love!

Sweet & Sour Chicken Fried Rice Instructions

Pour the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok on the stove over medium-high heat.

Add the onion and bell pepper, cook 2-3 minutes, add the garlic and chicken, cook for an additional 5-6 minutes.

Add the pineapple and sweet and sour sauce. Simmer to reduce the sauce down slightly for 3-4 minutes, then add the rice and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.

Chow down on a big bowl (or two!) for dinner! Don’t forget to save some for leftovers, because we all know that chicken fried rice makes the best leftovers ever!

That is a proven fact, right? If you google best leftovers ever, a picture of chicken fried rice shows up at the top, right? Maybe? Actually the first picture that comes up is a leftover turkey sandwich. Google, come on, Chicken Fried Rice definitely wins over a turkey sandwich!

Okay excuse me while I go eat some of these leftovers right now because I’ve gotten myself all amped up on them while typing this! 😉
